"In view of the detailed content, it is better to instruct the three envoys to compare the Jingzhaofu mining records over the years, so that you don't need to spend too much official energy in the imperial court, let alone spend money and grain, and you can get a glimpse of it."

is worthy of being a prime minister who has come up step by step from the grassroots level, Wang Anshi is very clear about the financial affairs of the imperial court. A simple sentence extinguished Wen Yanbo's attempts to delay, muddy the waters, and divert attention from many old party ideas.

What needs to be done now is not to continue to crack down on the old party in the DPRK and China, but to quickly put this report on the ground. As long as there is a discrepancy between the accounts of the three envoys and the accounts of the transfer department, even if Chongkai grows three heads, he will not be able to escape, and he will be summoned to the capital for review in minutes.

Well, then, it's time to negotiate terms between the old and new parties. If it wants to keep the Chang'an clan, the old party must show sincerity in exchange for benefits. At that time, on behalf of the New Party, he made a statement in front of the emperor, only punishing the Chongkai family and letting the Chang'an Chong family go.

Not only did he be a good person, but he also made the old party owe a big favor, and he also met the emperor's purpose of adjusting the distribution of forces between the government and the opposition.

The only one who suffers in this matter is not Chongkai, he deserves it, and he has already made a fortune if he doesn't involve the entire Chang'an Seed family. The real sufferer is the plaintiff, the crazy horse who is far away in Jingzhao Mansion waiting for his meritorious service to be awarded.

In the end, he will not be rewarded by the emperor, and will only be punished for his merits and demerits. But through this incident, he can be regarded as offending the Chang'an clan severely, and it is impossible to redeem it even with a large number of old party officials.

In this way, neither he nor the emperor will have to worry about him being co-opted by the old party, so he can obediently go to be a pawn, he can only arch forward, and he can't come back half a step.

"Does Wen Qing think the words of the king are appropriate?" Emperor Shenzong was very dissatisfied with Wen Yanbo's statement this time.

You are an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and you have been of great help to my father, but you can't always rely on the old and sell the old, the more I respect you, the more you will oppose me everywhere, and the evidence is almost exhausted.

"Minister...... No objection...... "Wen Yanbo is bitter in his heart, and now he is difficult to ride a tiger." I knew that Wang Shu would come to this hand, and I shouldn't have come forward last time to push back the emperor's intentions.

It's okay now, he was slapped in the face by his political enemies, and the emperor also said cool things. glanced at Sima Guang again, yes, this old monk was about to become an old monk, staring at the page in his hand and couldn't finish reading, and he didn't mean to stand up for Chong Kai at all.

So are these materials collected by Hong Tao? It must be, it is basically the same as Wang Anshi's guess, it was dictated by Hong Tao and written on Mondays and Sundays.

The account data was also sorted out by Zhou Yiri, Lian'er, Ziju and Gao Cuifeng. As for the proof materials of the miners, it all depends on the hard work of Miao Kui and Wasp, as well as all the personal officials of the Water Tiger Wing and the Imperial City Division.

Since Zhou Quangui reported and exposed the problems of several large mines of the farmer, Hong Tao personally set off with the forbidden army the next day.

The soldiers were divided into several routes, some went straight to several large mines to arrest people, and some went straight to the local mine supervisors and mining departments to check their accounts. Within a few days, the three military tents in the Water Tiger Wing Barracks were all filled with mine households, mine supervisors, and mine workers.

Caught over there, Hong Tao did not delay the trial, and he personally came forward to do this work, assisted by Wasp and Zhu Bajin. It is not clear to outsiders what means were used, but in any case, there were often cries and shouts from the three military tents that were closely guarded by the official forbidden army, and then someone was taken by wasps to the nearby military tent to record confessions.

These people were neither injured nor disabled, but they were all terrified and weeping, and they could say whatever they asked, and they could not stop them at all. As soon as he said that he would pull back the three military tents, most of them were so frightened that they peed their pants.

But there are also disadvantages to confessing too quickly, and the involvement is getting bigger and bigger, and even the forbidden army responsible for arresting criminals is not enough. Moreover, the people involved in the case are getting higher and higher, and Gao Cuifeng, who was in charge of recording the confession, stopped writing after the trial, and if he records it again, Jingzhao Mansion will probably become the main culprit from Fu Yin to the general judgment.

"That's it, we are not the Criminal Division, nor the Imperial Doctor and the Criminal Department, we can't investigate thoroughly, and there is no need for this. As long as the remnants of the mine are swept away, a sufficiently strong warning to local officials will be done. ”

Hong Tao had long expected this situation, because in later generations, it is almost exactly the same as it is now, and often a small case will involve a large number of officials, and the more you investigate, the higher the level.

All caught? That's impossible, how much to catch, how much to warn, how much to hint at, it's not something you should consider, it is up to the prime minister and the emperor to weigh it all before a relatively balanced decision can be made.

Note that it's balance, not fairness. There is no fairness in political activities, not in ancient times, not in modern times, not in China, and not in the West. These are the rules of the game, you can disagree, but you have to follow them.

"Cuifeng understands, who are you going to do?" Gao Cuifeng raised his hands and feet in favor of this decision of the concubine, and now he no longer regarded his master as a political idiot.

This is a nerve knife, who understands for a while and is confused for a while, and when he understands, he is more sleek and ingenious than the wrist of a political veteran, and when he is confused, he is not as good as a young man who has just entered his career.

Fortunately, when it comes to big issues, colts usually understand very well, and small problems, a few times of confusion will not hinder the overall situation. Sometimes Gao Cuifeng even lifted the horse to deliberately pretend to be confused, which is really unpredictable.

"Only punish the first evil, and do not ask the co-ordinators. Just follow this general principle, reorganize the relevant confessions, and then transcribe the remaining confessions to each family, and send someone to send them to themselves, just say that it is my meaning, and there is no need to say a word else. ”

Hong Tao thought about it, there is a debtor who is wronged, he can't control it if he is too involved, and the grade is too low to achieve the warning purpose. Let's take this transfer envoy to start the knife, who let him have to be the rafters, he deserves it!

Things are actually as simple as that, far less complicated than Wen Yanbo and the others pondered. Moreover, Hong Tao did not pay attention to this matter at all, as soon as the music and materials were sent away by the official forbidden army, he began to meet with the mine owner, mine supervisor, and the person in charge of the mine from morning to night.

I couldn't find these people no matter how they looked, and I couldn't see the notices posted everywhere. Now they all suddenly jumped out of the cracks in the stones, and gathered outside the post gate in Weiqiao Town every day, waiting in line to be received by the new Mention Point Supervisor. If it rains, it will not be dispersed, and it is claimed that if you don't finish your work, you won't eat or sleep, and you must be worthy of the court.

Hong Tao is also like a different person, he doesn't mention half a word about the previous things, and he doesn't care if these people have unclean hands and feet before, let alone who they belong to, and even the people who have been interrogated before can appear in the team again without any problems, and pretend not to know each other when they meet. It's time to talk about work, talk about work, and leave after talking.

However, some people will involuntarily tremble on their legs as soon as they see the superintendent pick up a cloth towel to wipe their sweat. In the military tent, they can be regarded as seeing the power of the cloth towel, and they have never felt afraid of a cloth towel in their lives.

The grandson of the superintendent, Tai Nima, did not know where he learned the trick of immorality, so he did not beat or scold, but only asked a question, and if he did not answer or answered slowly, he would be tied to a chair and covered his face with a sackcloth, and began to water it with a teapot, betting on how many pots of water he needed.

It is said that no one can carry five pots, and some people faint to death after one pot, but when they wake up, they have to continue pouring it. The superintendent said that this is called the minimum consumption, as long as you sit on this chair, you have to start with a pot, and you must not be less.

What's so uncomfortable about it? I don't know if I don't try, and I can't forget it after I try.

Some people will be shivering in pain, it is a pain in the lungs, it hurts like a pinprick stick, as long as they gasp for breath, it hurts, and it will last for a long time. Some people will be nauseous, vomit incessantly, and can't stop vomiting bitter bile water. Others have headaches or dizziness and tinnitus.

The superintendent was very considerate, and he also explained the principle to everyone who had tried this kind of criminal law, telling them that it was called individual differences, and that if you experience this kind of thing too much, it will cause irreversible damage to people's internal organs. There are no scars on the outside, but the problem will be with people for a lifetime, and the older you get, the more obvious it is, and you can't live or die!

Then he would say some words that no one could understand, what medical methods, and all kinds of mouth-twisting drug names. Tell everyone who has been tortured that if they live for a thousand years, they can grit their teeth and not confess, and then someone will be able to cure the root of the disease.
